Does HFP suspension need camber kit on sedans?

[mystikal777]

I'm considering getting HFP suspensions for my sedan but I have concerns about camber changes. I know there's the general rule of how much a drop would require a camber kit. Would I be able to get away without a camber kit and not have to worry about tire wear?

Main thing that will cause tires to wear out faster is toe, not camber.

If you get a good alignment and toe is spot on, then you have nothing to worry about and will be fine without a camber kit.

I had to do both camber, and toe arms in the rear to get it back to -1.3 deg of camber on my sedan. Camber arms alone only brought it back to -1.8 deg...

YMMV

Same. HFP put me at -3.1. Best to get it all done at once if possible since the camber kit installation will require realignment.

Okay thanks. I don't plan on getting all the extra toe/camber stuff now is cause I'm a little tight on money. If I can manage on just a good alignment, then that's good enough for me.

You'll be in the neighborhood of -3 to -3.2 deg of camber with no adjustable arms... FYI.

Good luck

Here's the Honda Installation Instructions for your suspension. The last step lists Honda's recommended camber and toe settings. It may be useful as a point of reference for you.

Just curious, how much faster does an out of spec toe and/or camber wear out the tires compared to in-spec alignment?
